At this rate, I'm pretty convinced that bar maybe Marshal and Whitts, our starting 11 for the first game of the season might be all new players (including the January signings as new guys).

He's no improvement on what you've got. He had a good understanding with Jedinak, does a lot of the dirty work but Jedinak is 10 times the player he is. The only thing he does better than Jedinak is retain possession. He couldn't finish a mars bar last season - ought to have had at least 5 or 6 goals. He also suffers with his fitness and has been known to return to pre-season rather portly. Palace haven't lost anything special.

Wiki says Morocco but it doesn't seem very clear.

Our first signing to show the front of a shirt and it's last seasons. We're never getting a new kit :laughing6:

Such a shame the new players have that piece of shit to be presented with on arrival.

New players for next season and they give them the old kit.

I saw Dikgacoi's twitter and it says they're hosting it? Idk, but I'm sure South Africa will qualify if it is Morocco, how long does the ACON usually last?

Aye quite embarrassing, I'd just rather them not hold up a shirt and maybe just wear training gear or hold up a scarf :lol:

Played 26 games in PL last season and got offered a new contract by Pulis as he obviously feels Kagisho is good enough for another season in the PL.

I dont know Palace too well so cant say anything about his ability but if we consider he comes here for free and Pulis wanted him another season id say it atleast looks like a great signing on paper.

It's almost like the club are completely incompetent in this department. If that we're true though Merthyr Tydfil and Liverpool would have both released their kits next season leaving Cardiff with no excuse... Oh hang on. But still it's not like last season we released a mismatching kit drawing unneeded attention to an already tender topic (at best) by doing something stupid... Oh hang on.

Actually thats pretty much bang on apart from the possession he's arguably worse than Jedinek on the ball :o

I may saying this just to wind Cardiff fans up but Ill come on here around xmas time and I guarantee you will be saying he is proper shite.

I expected him to move to a Championship club but I think he's proper lucked out signing a big deal with you guys.

This is what sky said about him

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... performers

Quite what Kagisho Dikgacoi provides for Crystal Palace, on top of a lot of running, is hard to fathom. No goals or assists from 21 shots and key passes hints that he should be a combative, ball-winning central midfielder, but with 1.6 tackles and 1.2 interceptions per game, he doesn't even rank in the top 10 for either statistic at Crystal Palace. In fact, there are 22 Premier League central midfielders who fare better than him, and this is meant to be the area in which he contributes most.

Thursday 12th June 2014.

According to reports coming out of the UK, Bafana Bafana midfielder, Kagisho Dikgacoi, is close to joining Cardiff City.

KG’s agent, Alex Levack, yesterday confirmed that there were lots of talks going on regarding his future, but that he was weighing up his options.

According to Ed Aarons, the deputy news editor at the Guardian, Dikgacoi should be playing for Cardiff in the Championship next season.

Aarons tweeted saying, “Had it confirmed that Kagisho Dikgacoi 'is close' to joining Cardiff from #cpfc. Thanks for the memories @KGDikgacoi.”

The crew will continue to look for confirmation on the midfielder’s move, though it seems that he has chosen Championship football over the Premier League after he was offered a new deal with the Eagles.

KG joined Palace in 2011 after an unhappy spell at Fulham and could now be set for a new chapter in his career.
"Keep smiling....it confuses the bastards!!"

I'm saying the club is incompetent when virtually all clubs have announced if not released their kits next season, Cardiff are handing out the old one.

Pretty good business when you think he's Medel's replacement from a club that finished well above us last season.
